Angela, 39, was uncertain, distrusting and rarely smiled when she moved into The Asheboro Home, a group home for adult women with developmental disabilities in Asheboro. Today, her demeanor has changed greatly, and the smiles increase by the minute. Sometimes even a giggling fit or two makes its way into the mix.

“If I would have known about this place first, I would have come here first,” Angela says comparing The Asheboro Home to other homes. “I just didn’t feel as well cared for in other places. It’s more peaceful here.”

He is dressed in his work clothes and has his matching cap positioned just right. Rob clears a table and throws the trash away when a customer enters the door.
